The Alfred Summer
Read All About It!
All anyone sees when they look at Lester is his cerebral palsy. All anyone sees when they look at Alfred is his mental disability. These two "misfits" team up with two other unusual kids, Myron and Claire, to build the rowboat "The Getaway." See how these social outcasts build a friendship that draws on each person's unique strengths.
